I’ve had bad health anxiety also. I’m paranoid about blood clots every time my calf hurts, and I’ve been having panic attacks without even knowing at this point. I used to stress about PPROM or my cervix but after my OB finally got me a cervical check around 22 weeks showing my cervical measurement was like 5.9 cm, I stopped worrying a bit on it shortening. I’m starting my long over due anxiety medication tonight after my OB has been begging me to do so for months, because I’ve had enough of this irrational worrying. Don’t worry, you can relax after your scan! My worry comes in when I don’t have an appointment for awhile and I’m scared something will happen. Anxiety sucks but pregnancy makes it ten times worse! Good luck

I totally get you! I do have a bacteria in my uterus that may or may not cause pre term labor. Since there really isn’t studies on it, but I am also on panick mode. I am 25 weeks pregnant and I had BH last night, earlier today I was feeling some type of pressure on my lower belly which automatically makes me believe I am going into pre term labor. I would know? I think lol since yesterday after work I did laundry and went up and down stairs multiple times. Ended up super exhausted but yep momma every little pain I get I believe I am going into labor hahaha I also check for blood on my paper all the time. I did have preemie twins at 28 weeks but emergency c section because one of them wasn’t growing properly. This pregnancy has been so smooth and such a blessing that sometimes I cannot believe it and I am so negative!!! We really need to relax!!!! Hope all is good ❤️

Oh I hope I can relax after!

My doc has been begging me to get on Buspirone since my second visit. I'm sure she thought "Oh boy, one of these ladies"

Unfortunately I have only taken one pill because I am just too anxious about taking meds! :/

I hope you can too, actually I hope us both can! Lol. I’m starting Zoloft. I know it’s safe but my anxiety is putting all these thoughts into my head! But my pulse is going through the roof and I’m getting chest pains when I start panicking about something so I realized it’s time. I was hoping I could make it to delivery unmedicated, but I’m just not that strong!!

I was on Escitalopram, then was switched to Zoloft, then back to Escitalopram bc my anxiety and bp started climbing again. Everything seems stable now, and shes doing absolutely great! No problems at all ♡
